| | 1. |  | Midnight's Children: A Novel
from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $5.99
Customer Review:
Salman Rushdie's voice is unique, and if you haven't read anything by him yet, Midnight's Children is a good place to start. Be prepared for intriguing characters, long flights of fancy, enough historical facts to keep the novel anchored in reality, and insightful comments on human nature. Winner of... more info

| | 2. |  | Grimus: A Novel (Modern Library Paperbacks)
from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $4.74
Customer Review:
As someone who is not a regular reader of Rushdie's works, I'm going into this review fairly unaffected by any sort of opinion of him formed by other works (I just picked up "East, West" though to give his short stories a look).
Grimus can be confusing at times. Especially in the first half,... more info

| | 3. |  | The Wizard of Oz (BFI Film Classics)
from British Film Institute
Price: $7.88
Customer Review:
I first read this via the New Yorker version. For the first time I understood why this film, underneath its surface glitter and sentimentality, is haunting, bleak and beautiful. Read it and see the film again as if for the first time.

| | 4. |  | The Enchantress of Florence: A Novel
from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $4.95
Customer Review:
Picked it up this summer for a backpacking trip around Europe. While in Prague I spent more time reading in my hostel than I did touring the city - it was that good. I would say the beginning is a little slow as far as the plot development goes, but the writing style is great throughout.

| | 7. |  | Shame: A Novel
from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $5.80
Customer Review:
I was required to get this book for my postcolonial literature class. Many of the characters serve as an allegory to Pakistani politicians. Rushdie's writing style is unlike any other's I have read. His sentences can run up to fourteen lines long. This book is also an example of metafiction; Rushdie... more info

from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $9.26
Customer Review:
one of the most fascinating books I have ever read. Language is beautiful. This is one of the books you will never forget. However, it will help know little hindi/urdu and references to Indian pop culture.
